Almond Stuffed Dates

A "sugary" treat that seems paleo enough is gooey dates, each with a
roasted almond shoved inside. We did this over Christmas, and I ate these
(mostly) instead of tempting cookies and things. We used raw, unsalted
whole almonds, and roasted them ourselves.
Roast them on medium-high heat dry, right in a frying pan. Just sit there
and watch them carefully to make sure they don't burn, moving them around
and stuff. Then cool, and shove one each inside a date. I like the gooiest
dates for this. Very tasty, and not too caloric if you only eat a few! BTW
- these are good for potassium and fiber, and trace minerals like calcium,
zinc, etc.
Also, the oven would work just fine. I might use the broiler in this case,
but still watch very carefully. When done, they might have the slightest
hint of black on the spot where they touched the metal - no biggie.

Fruit Pemmican

2 cups raisins
2 cups dates
2 cups cherries
honey or suet
Mix the ingredients together and pour it out onto a cookie sheet,
refrigerate, cut into squares and eat. Only use enough honey to cause the
fruits to stick together. Or substitute suet for the honey.

Nut and Fruit Balls

First I soaked the nuts all night in water with a little vitamin C in the
water, and after I ground them up I mixed them with some dried fruit that I
soaked in Vit. C water, but not as long, then I added carob powder, a dash
of salt, rolled them into balls, rolled them in the carob powder and put
them in the freezer, they sure taste good!

Spicy Pecans

4 tsp cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cayenne
2 egg whites
1/4 cup raw honey
5 cups pecan halves (or walnuts)
In small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cayenne. In
large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy; add honey, whisk again just
until egg whites and honey are combined. Add nuts a cup at a time in the
egg and honey mixture. Remove and toss in the spices. Repeat again until
all the nuts have been coated.
Spread on 2 lightly greased baking sheets; bake at 250 for one hour,
rotating sheets halfway through baking, or until coating is crisp and nuts
are fragrant. Let cool.

With Carob

Carob Goodie

1 cup toasted unsweetened carob [not GRAP]
1.5 cups pecan meal
1/2 cup or less coconut oil
Mix well together. It's a little soft for fudge, but has a similar
bittersweetrich experience as chocolate.
It helped me get off a significant chocolate addiction.
